Margaret Strelow Independent candidate for Rockhampton

I am contesting the seat of Rockhampton, which takes in the City of Rockhampton and the town of Gracemere.

Many of you will know me already.

​I served as Mayor of Rockhampton and later as Mayor of the Rockhampton Regional Council for over16 years (and one term as Councillor).

During my time as Mayor I oversaw a complete rejuvenation of Rockhampton and Gracemere.

​I’m proud of the things that I achieved during that time.

But it is the future and opportunity to be the voice of our communities that has compelled me to nominate for this election.

​We have had to fight for everything we have achieved. But the big things, the game changing things like cost of living, long-term jobs, better health services and working to reduce the serious issue of youth crime – these are State Government issues. That is where I believe I need to be.

​I’m asking for your support to take the fight to Brisbane.
